Molecular and Cellular Properties of the Rat AA4 Antigen, a C-type Lectin-like Receptor with Structural Homology to Thrombomodulin
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The murine fetal stem cell marker AA4 has recently been cloned and is known to be the homolog of the human phagocytic C1q receptor involved in host defense. We herein report the molecular cloning and the cellular expression pattern of the rat AA4 antigen. Modular architecture analysis indicated that the rat AA4 is a member of C-type lectin-like family and, interestingly, displays similar domain composition and...
